In a bizarre setup last night we were put in front of our opponents in the training ring. Due to some issues within the group of trainers it became necessary to have a draw for the corner men that will look after each team on the night. Zack put us in two lines facing each other and then 2 from each team drew names from a hat. Unfortunately Richie, who both teams wanted in their corners, will be in the Red corner and we have 2 others from Zack's boys. It's disappointing because Richie has been training us since the beginning but there's nothing we can do about it now.
To compound this loss we then tossed a coin to see who would be first in the ring and who would come out second. We had wanted to come out second so that we spent as little time in the ring before the first bell as possible. Unfortunately we lost again and we will come out first. So, not a great start for the Blue team! Richie was really disappointed and tried to persuade Zack to change his mind but what's done is done. It's heartening that he really wanted to look after us on the night and I bet deep down he'll be cheering for us more than his own red team!
In the end it doesn't matter who wins random tosses of coins or draws from hats. What matters is who wins in the ring on Friday night. The first round outside of the ring goes to the Reds but the important rounds inside the ring are still a few days away and we don't plan on losing those.
